HSUS aligns itself with Bank of America

A cute orange cat is the face of a new credit card for the Humane Society of the United States. Offered by Bank of America, the card offers a free HSUS t-shirt with credit approval, you can still get the same great card rewards, and you can help support the missions of the HSUS. Bank of America will be providing 25 cents for every $100 in purchases. This donation has already generated hundreds of thousands of dollars with a growing cardholder population of over 50,000. What could be better, right?

However, as many of us know, the HSUS missions to combat animal cruelty and care for animals in need, are not always as they seem. The HSUS underlying mission is to stop animal agriculture, and its new alliance with Bank of America has the cattle industry in an uproar.

Thanks to efforts by the Cattle Network, the Bank of America has been alerted of industry disagreement and is bringing the matter to an elevated level. W. Ashley Allen, Sr. Vice President of Bank of America responded to the Cattle Network and fellow industry people’s complaint letters, saying Bank of America is very supportive of the cattle industry and will look into the matter.
